Pushy MT

In Reply to: Beware of Helpful Posters and MTs pushy to refer - you to their company!
If you are referring to me as a vulture, I beg your pardon. I am not an unscrupulous vulture for vulnerable MTs. The company I was referring to is a legitimate company and no, their conditions are not horrible, and NO, I am not making any money on referrals. I no longer work for the company and I am not phishing the boards. By the way, isn't anyone looking for a job and filling out an application a complete stranger to the company? I am not conning anyone.....I no longer work for the company as I ended up with way too much work with my initial accounts and I let that work go, so I thought they probably are looking to fill some positions. I will not be getting a bonus or referral fee of any type, just trying to help out someone looking for PT work.
Sorry you've had such bad experiences but you need to get over yourself.... everyone isn't out to get you!
AND, I didn't send any private e-mails trying to snag someone.....they sent me one and I will definitely try to help them if I can.

Yes, very pushy!
Yes, the QA manager is very very pushy! She is always hard on the MTs. She is not that friendly in my opinion.

Beware of Helpful Posters and MTs pushy to refer
Regarding post below, it reminded me that I have been meaning to post something, but just have been so busy. It stemmed originally from the recruiter discussions of late, and their credibility issues at times. Even more than worrying about recruiters, please be very leary about seemingly sweet and helpful posters who reply to you on here and then send private emails about jobs they know of that can help you out. I swear, in the years I have hung on this board, and in the days when I used to be trusting and naive, I have never once been contacted personally by anyone who was trustworthy or had my best interests at heart. I have run into the really screwy companies via these supposed helpful posts, and these are the companies who don't pay, are very dishonest and/or shady, etc. I won't name names, but many of these helpful posters are well known, and also recruiters fot the shady companies with less than above-board business practices. I just hate to think of the innocent new posters, truly looking for help from their fellow MTs, getting sucked in by these unscrupulous vultures. These vultures peruse these boards 24/7, looking for vulnerable MTs to pounce upon. By the time you realize you've been conned, its too late. If they just happen to know a job that could just happen to help you out, chances are more than good that its a skanky company - otherwise, they wouldn't be phishing here for victims. They'd have legitimate advertisements on the many MT job sites. Also, please keep in mind that many happy employee referrals, who also happily email you privately, are simply 100% looking to make a referral fee. Their company may be a nightmare, with horrible conditions, but these vultures make up the $$ by phishing these boards and referring literal strangers to their company. Referral bonuses range from $300 up to $1000 at times, so you are nothing more than $$ to the helpful person, who is just looking to pad their paycheck, not help your situation. I know I was conned several times over the years, or at least stuck in very uncomfortable situations, and hopefully will spare somebody going thru the same. Remember, too, if a company is that bad that they have to have MTs referring and recommending complete strangers, there is something wrong, with the MT and the company.
